Marie McLaughlin, one-quarter Sioux and raised among the Mdewakanton Dakota, wrote down the stories she heard over a lifetime in Dakota country. Rabbits outwit elk and bears, a forgotten ear of corn speaks, faithful lovers die together, and the legends of Standing Rock and the peace pipe explain how things came to be.

A short, direct collection from a woman who lived inside both worlds, published in 1916. Download the free EPUB.
